US media focuses on embassy opening in Jerusalem amid bloodbath in Gaza

Usually, the death of more than three dozen protesters anywhere in the world is something US media would be interested in — but it seems that old journalism maxim ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ may not extend to Palestinian blood.

On a day that has seen 52 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces amid historic protests, US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan has said the decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem will be a “magnificent tribute to peace” — and it seems American media aren’t in the mood for questioning.

The US mainstream media has been less than keen to cover the Palestinian deaths, instead deciding to focus on the opening of the new embassy.
